Description: Population Processes is an introductory course in demographic research theory and methods. The primary objective of the course is to learn how demographers theorize about—and measure—population growth, mortality, fertility, and migration. It is designed to be taught to two groups of students: upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. For some, the course will be their only class on population. For others, the course will provide an overview of demography before they go on to graduate or professional school. Readings and lectures will be informative and challenging to both groups. Demographic processes are increasingly referenced in political discourse related to immigration, reproductive rights, elder care, and racial inequality. Students who enroll in this course will have a better understanding of what population statistics represent and how they are being used to inform public and policy debate. Cross-list: SOCI 430. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for SOCI 530 if student has credit for SOCI 430.
